Book Description
Sleep disturbances are common during pregnancy, and they can be risk factors for a number of serious pregnancy-related sleep disorders. 50 to 70 million U.S. adults have sleep or wakefulness disorders. On average, children get less sleep during a 24-hour period than what is recommended by sleep experts. Sleep deprivation costs the US $411 billion annually. While many people who suffer from sleep disturbances seek the support of books, friends, doctors, online or public groups, the root causes of sleep issues are often not being addressed. Instead, rather general questions are asked and general solutions are given by others based on the other’s experience, limited training, and particular paradigm, which rarely is holistic in nature. Most questions asked do not come along with important details about lifestyle or health history that need to be factored in before receiving even basic advice or suggestions. There are so many factors that affect sleep. In order to get to the root of the challenge, we must first investigate all the areas influencing sleep from a holistic perspective in order to cover all possible causes. After birth, sleep is usually the next largest challenge for a family. Child sleep challenges are not just a child issue but a family issue. When a child is experiencing sleep challenges, the whole family is affected by it. How we address this as professionals and parents can lead us down a path of ease or frustration. Infant and child sleep carry with them not only so much controversy, but can also cause overwhelm, stress and a loss of family connection. Families who have been sleep-deprived for weeks and sometimes months can experience negative and even traumatic effects despite experiencing a healthy pregnancy. Enter in Mar De Carlo, founder of the International Parenting & Health Institute and Association of Professional Sleep Consultants who has revolutionized the world of pregnancy, adult and child sleep by introducing a holistic approach known as the "Holistic Science of Sleep Method". She became the first in the child sleep consultant industry to develop and launch her Holistic Adult and Child Sleep Certification program in 2012 that trains professionals to begin supporting families with sleep education during pregnancy. Her program and approach have been well-received in 59 countries and are currently represented in 10 languages.

Waking From Sleep
Author: Steve Taylor
Publisher: Hay House, Inc
ISBN: 1401929486
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
How much of your waking time are you fully awake? On the other hand, how often do you stumble through the day on autopilot, half-asleep and out of contact with yourself, instead of feeling connected and alive? In this astounding book, Steve Taylor suggests that our normal consciousness is really a kind of "sleep" from which we sometimes "wake up" into a more intense and complete reality. He provides what is perhaps the first-ever clear explanation of higher states of consciousness, or "awakening experiences." This work delves into: • the methods we human beings have used throughout history to induce awakening experiences, including meditation, sex, sports, psychedelic drugs, and sleep deprivation • how higher states of consciousness were normal and natural to some of the world’s peoples (and still are, in some cases) • and how we can make "wakefulness" our normal state again. By fully explaining awakening experiences, the author makes them much more accessible, which may lead to a revolution in our psychological development as human beings!

Awakening and Sleep-wake Cycle Across Development
Author: Piero Salzarulo
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9789027251589
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
Sleep and wakefulness undergo important changes with age. Awakening, a crucial event in the sleep-wake rhythm, is a transition implying complex physiological mechanisms. Its involvement in sleep disturbances is also well known. This collective volume is the first attempt to systematically approach awakening across development.A methodological section considers criteria to define awakening in a developmental perspective. Theoretical considerations on development of wakefulness and on its relation to consciousness are included and provide a vigorous impulse to go beyond present criteria and classifications. Age changes are the core of studies on development: a section of the book examines old and new data from preterm to infants up to children, underscoring the main turning points along this developmental path. As for other aspects of development, awakening and the sleep-wake cycle are also influenced by external factors, both physical and human. Several contributions deal with this topic, in particular focusing on the parent-infant interaction and the influences of culture. Clinical contexts offer an opportunity to show both quantitative and qualitative changes of awakening and arousals in different pathological conditions. Either partial changes of one physiological variable or global and massive changes can be observed. (Series B)

Book Description
In Healing Night, sleep and dream expert Rubin Naiman explores sleeping, dreaming, and awakening, going far beyond the science of sleep medicine to reflect on what he believes is the profoundly spiritual nature of night consciousness.

Moreover, he challenges us to acknowledge our spiritual night blindness and embrace the sacredness of night. This edition was revised in 2009.

Book Description
A world-renowned expert in lucid dreaming and Tibetan dream yoga guides us into the tradition’s daytime practices, a complement to the nighttime practices taught in his previous book Dream Yoga. Most of us are absolutely certain that we’re awake here and now—it’s a given, right? Yet, according to Tibet’s dream yoga tradition, ordinary waking life is no more real than the illusions of our nightly dreams. In his previous book Dream Yoga, Andrew Holecek guided us into Tibetan Buddhism’s nocturnal path of lucid dreaming and other dimensions of sleeping consciousness. Now, with Dreams of Light, he offers us an in-depth, step-by-step guide to its daytime practices. Known as the “illusory form” practices, these teachings include insights, meditations, and actions to help us realize the dreamlike nature of our lives. Through an immersive exploration of the tradition, beginners and seasoned practitioners alike will learn everything they need to deeply transform both their sleeping and waking hours. “If you’ve struggled to awaken in your dreams,” teaches Holecek, “these techniques will often spark spontaneous lucidity during sleep. And if you’re already a successful lucid dreamer, they will open you to new depths of experience throughout your day.” For those wishing to explore Tibetan Buddhism’s profound path for awakening to the true nature of reality—day or night—Dreams of Light shows us the way.
